Hey everyone,
As most people know I get the pick of the litter when Nemo's mum has pups in October, I've been considering this one really hard cos I have Stitch he will be coming up to 6 months when I get my next puppy and I wanna know whats easier 2 boys or a boy and a girl?? are there any drawbacks besides the risk of accidents of having one of each? If I have 2 boys are there problems with marking and dominance? My family have only ever had girls and 2 girls live great together but 2 boys I'm unsure of. I really wanna keep my options open with this new puppy and choose the one I really want and I guess if there's a Nemo clone I'll be really tempted to take that one. Any help would be really apprechiated.

Someone once told me that males tend to find it harder to live together compared to females, due to the dominance thing.
But if they get neutered i think that helps them to calm down

i think theres quite a few boy pairs on this site.. take kari's mr.peepers and buster for instance. I just think if they grow up together then theres know intruding on ones home lol but then again vala's stinky and smelly were introduced as adults i think so you never know. I know someone who had a boy and a girl and the boy didnt like the girl, so got rid of the girl bought a new girl and then the boy loved her... :? i think it all depends. I know quite a few dogs though (boy pairs) that have grown up together and love each other.. I do think it works best introducing from a young age. :wave:

I have 2 boys and they get along fine (a bit of rough play)
they are brothers though so they have always been together.
i think generally, you need to assess the dogs themselves and see how they get along together. introduce them and see what happens!

boys vs girls

I have all males 5 to be exact not all chis but one is a chi, all neutered. I have a daughter of my own and I gues the reason I have males dogs is to make up for not having a son of my own?? I just have always preferred males. We do have a female parrot though, :lol:

I have 2 males (neutered) not chi's and one female chi. I got Dozja when Riley was about 4yrs old, and they are best friends now. They do rough house alot, and Sincy tries to rough house too!
